CPAFMA and INSIDE Public Accounting Need Your Help

CPAFMA has once again partnered with INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA) to sponsor and promote the 2016 IPA Firm Administration Survey. The survey covers administration costs, partnership issues, compensation, charge hours, utilization, business incentives, workflow and more.   We would be grateful if you would consider participating in the survey, along with three other benchmarking surveys IPA provides to the profession.

The deadline for submission is June 3, 2016. THERE IS NO COST TO PARTICIPATE.

Most important is participation in IPA’s Annual Survey and Analysis of Firms because taking part makes your firm eligible to be considered as an IPA “Best of the Best” firm. Of more than 600 firms that participate in the MAP survey each year, only 50 will receive the highly coveted Best of the Best designation. With participation, your firm will also be considered for the annual rankings of the IPA Top 100, 200 or 300 list of the largest firms in the country.

Contact IPA today to request the survey forms, which is open to all accounting firms in North America.

Firms that complete all four surveys will receive:

• A complimentary copy of the IPA Top 100 firm rankings.
• A complimentary electronic Executive Summary of the National Benchmarking report, one of the most complete, independent, up-to-date sets of economic and management statistics available about the profession.
• Complimentary electronic copies of the Executive Summaries of Firm Administration, Human Resources and Information Technology Reports.
• Discount pricing on the full IPA National Benchmarking Report and other benchmarking tools.
• Preference for selection in articles written by IPA throughout the year.

IPA also offers two additional surveys on Human Resources and Information Technology. Combined with the Firm Administration report, IPA digs deeper into the operations and best practices of participating accounting firms across the U.S.

“INSIDE Public Accounting is an invaluable resource in our work with firms. First, their benchmarking survey data helps firms identify areas to improve their economic performance and better understand trends in the profession. Second, we subscribe to the newsletter and e-newsletter and appreciate their up-to-the-minute firm news, the in-depth practice management articles and practical, in-firm perspectives.” – Jennifer Wilson, ConvergenceCoaching.
